Hi everyone,

This is not regarding a C# code, but the font displayed on a Label control.
I'm using "Segoe UI" font and displaying a simple line of text on a Label control.
What happens is, when I increase the font size to 36px or above, the text appears pixilated on the Label. Is there any solution to avoid this? How does Windows achieve this on a Metro Style app with the same font?

Thanks in advance.

You could try to implement the painteventhandler and there you are able to antialias your font using this sample here:
